scrapster Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Just a quick question for all those with Heads on their feet. I just picked up a snazzy pair of SPs, which came with 3 pairs of tongues!? Black tongues are in the boots. Red tongues have flexy ridges--so I'm guessing they're the soft ones. And then there are some silver tongues. Can someone decipher them for me? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only got two, with mine the orange were softer the black were stiffer. to me that boot is exceptionally soft so I run black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp1 Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 scrapster, I've done the modifications & BTS on several pair of HS & HSP boots so got to handle pretty much all of the tongues. Although I never had them all 'in hand' at the same time or used a durometer on them from what I remember : Orange was the softest (most flexible) Black was in the middle, and Silver was the firmest. Nice way to be able to 'tune' for what you want, personally I like the bedroom slippers (orange) to each their own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea what the red ones are. I never even tried the orange/yellow ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Are you sure the red ones go to the HSPs? I suspect you're going to want the orange tongues. Might as well get on tracking a pair down. Those heels are sitting in my livingroom by the way. You still need them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapster Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey Mark, Thanks. I'm all set for heels now, sorry to make you dig them out! I just found out that the old manual that came with the boots mentions the red tongues--"softer flexing for slalom and freecarving." Doesn't say a thing about the other tongues though. Go figure. See you at the Beast sometime soon. I want a purple tattoo just like Bobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patmoore Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I like a softer feel and use the orange tongues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
